I began gymnastics at the age of 5 and fell in love with the sport.  I was voted “Most Energetic” by my preschool teachers, which we all know means “Most Out of Control!”  I eventually progressed through the Junior Elite program earning spots on Junior National Team through my youth.  I earned a full scholarship to Penn State University where we won an NCAA Team Championship title in 2000 and was voted Team Captain in 2001.  After graduation, I eventually found my way to Texas in 2007 as Head Coach at HGC.  I am proud to have produced numerous State, Regional, and National champions, and to have provided several gymnasts with the opportunity to compete at the collegiate level.  I am now Director of Gymnastics and remain Head Coach of the Girls Development Program.
